on Monday January 16, 2012 @ 02:08pm>> [ reply ][ rating +0 ] My 2012 is simple from a personal goal aspect and I feel I should be able to get 2/3 accomplished 1) Rail from Beijing to London. This involves the Trans-Siberian Railway and some other fun stuff. Was supposed to go 2 years ago but there were family issues with the family that was going to accompany us. That shit is all in the clear now so there is no reason this should not happen 2) Great Naadam Festival in Mongolia. This is their biggest holiday and is just fucking amazing looking. 3) Visit Antarctica. This is the one that is least likely to occur but goddamnit if I am not going to try. and after reading some of your guys' lengthy lists i feel like i'm either lazy or not setting high enough goals "$210 savings? How does that math work? With the RV are you then getting Jew food out of the dumpster behind the Smiths?" - Krux |

It's much easier now than it used to be, there are actual cruises that go there. 20 years ago you'd have to charter a fucking whaling ship or something, hehe.

Some things are worth saving up for. If there is any one advantage of living comfortably within your means, it is that once in awhile, you can spend a few extra bucks on something bad ass. Sandra and I made a promise to each other when Jasmine was born that we would make sure summers were awesome AND educational. This summer we are going to Germany and bumming around Europe for three weeks, next year we were thinking of this cruise as a possibility (there are a few others on the docket). Basically we plan to use $10k per vacation each year with some give and take (so $7k this year allows for $13k next year etc). That way, by the time she is ready for college, she will have enough worldliness to be a part of the world community. Its a good opportunity for the wife and I as well, since these are all experiences for us as well, but without the necessary aspect. Its just good time away from home and out in the world. I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes you just can't avoid destroying several at once... |

on Monday January 2, 2012 @ 08:17pm>> [ reply ][ rating +0 ] Good luck Caliber. Good dope there. Here's my list: I will continue to put the welfare of my family above anything and everything else in this world. I'm thinking about having two full time jobs. One I already have, and one I hope to have in November. Like you, I will have at least two articles published, and included in a company-sponsored book. I will have finished my first book on cyber warfare and have it submitted to a publisher soon after. This month is the last laser treatment for me (neck only). Not shaving is freakin' awesome! If the second job doesn't work out, I'll be starting that second masters program in Defense and Strategic Studies I hope to buy my first assault rifle. Who else? In a circus mirror, what the hell are you? |
